Re: Offline Intercon
[/quote]Will it do both lathe & mill Intercon and what about using it on a couple different PC's as long as the dongle's plugged in on the desired PC.
[/quote]
You can do both Mill and Lathe. You can install on as many PCs as you want. You can switch the USB dongle between them, otherwise you are limited to 20 lines of Intercon.

Re: Offline Intercon
Awesome, thanks! Well worth the price as there's no telling where & on who's PC I get the time to work on code for a project.

Re: Offline Intercon
So I got it today at work, that's what the $15 was for. Very quick, thanks Centroid!

Re: Offline Intercon
Hmm, looks like I need a Sentinel driver. Does anyone have a link to the correct driver or to installation instructions? The box had the dongle and nothing else.

Re: Offline Intercon
Have you tested just plugging in the dongle and try Intercon? Mine said I needed driver but I didn't install it, and intercon worked as intended.DICKEYBIRD wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2017 2:50 pm Hmm, looks like I need a Sentinel driver.

Re: Offline Intercon
I plugged it into my work PC which doesn't have CNC12 loaded and nothing happened. Is it possible to load Intercon without an Acorn hooked up? I know it's a stretch but imagine you're dealing with a dunce when you answer.

Re: Offline Intercon
The usb thing is just a KEY. I don't recall how I loaded intercon, but I'm pretty sure it was a link and D/L.DICKEYBIRD wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2017 4:38 pm I plugged it into my work PC which doesn't have CNC12 loaded and nothing happened.

Acorn does NOT have to be attached. hence the "offline"

Re: Offline Intercon
The key concept I understand, it's how to load Intercon separately that I'm scratchin' my head over. I couldn't find a link.

Re: Offline Intercon
Download 3.16 from here: http://www.centroidcnc.com/downloads/so ... v316-D.zip
And install Mill Demo and/or Lathe Demo. The demo will change to full blown offline with dongle connected.
You'll find the Sentinel drivers in there as well.
Do NOT install the 3.16 Mill or Lathe control software. It is not compatible with Acorn hardware.
